It's a fun comic, but the way it's laid out is kind of confusing (it would have made more sense to me if the fantasy was on the right) and it took me way too long to figure out what 'erised' meant for a four-panel joke.

Same, or have the background colors be consistent

I think

  1. wants to be on a resort, being taken care of
  2. Wants to be rich and have hair
  3. Person wants to be a robot? Robot wants to be a person? The second one feels more likely because the person looks happier
  4. Standing person wants to be on the computer, because that is who is looking? Or sitting person wants to be done with work, because the standing one is happier?

As art, the comic was effective because I spent a lot of time looking at the relatively simple comic

Not sure if I would agree with this. I don't think you should measure how successful art is by how long you spend looking at it. I'm not even sure if it's something you can measure at all since it's so subjective
